I have had multiple accounts through 15 years on reddit but reddit has become hardcore ban happy and I’ve stopped even trying to get around it at this point and have stopped using the site completely.
So what was the dumbest reason you were banned?
Mine was going into a far right sub that was discussing lord of the rings, for some reason lotr is huge with the far right including the current vp. Anyway all I did was post lotr sucks and a video link to clerks 2 where Randall tells Elias and the customer that the movie is nothing but walking and that the true ending should be frodo bricking into Sam’s mouth.
I got reported and site wide permabanned from a far right sub for gay bashing when the intent was anything but that. That’s when I noticed the glory days of reddit were starting to fade.
I used to browse Reddit from /r/all and I posted a comment on what I later realised was /r/conservative. I was subsequently banned from 20+ subs. They have bots checking subs they don’t like and collectively ban contributors to those subs.
luckily i had the forewarning from that sub, so i dint bother visiting it, i also use the filter filter out that sub, so i dont accidentally go into it. certain right wing subs will trigger a autoban from other subs.
I trolled r/conservative a lot I don’t think you get a ban from other communities, at least I never did, unless your account gets flaired by them.
I came across a incel sub once and went in to troll them and did get banned by a bunch of pro women subs. Only one of which I was a reader of. I messaged the mod and explained, got that one taken off.
This only happened to me the other way round: I couldn’t join a sub because I was subscribed to other, opposed subs.
I kinda understand why reddit mods do that, but I hope feddit/lemmit won’t ever get to this point. There must be a better way.
